It s useless for Collins to start. One person can t handle a big task! What s helpless is not the loss, but Harden s two statistics.

On November 21, the Clippers played away against the Magic. At the end of the game, the Clippers lost to the Magic 101-129. Although the current Magic lacks Banqueiro, there are many people in the Magic who can stand up. Not to mention Suggs' better performance in the game, Bane is gradually finding his form, and Wagner can also stabilize the data.

The Clippers did not put Collins in the starting position at first, but Collins played a good role on the bench at that time. In addition, the Clippers had a poor record at the time, so many people thought that Collins should move to the starting position, but when Collins really started When the game started, Collins struggled in the game. Just like today's game, Collins was originally expected to help the team open the score on the court. Unfortunately, Collins failed to do such a thing. At the end of the game, Collins scored 9 points and 4 rebounds on 4-of-8 shooting. Now the ship's reporter Tomer Azarly has revealed Collins's average data after starting. He has started six games, averaging 9.3 points, 4.5 baskets, 0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in 26.3 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 40.7/13.3/90.9%.

From these data, we can see that Collins was useless after starting. After all, Collins provided too little help to the team. Under such circumstances, Collins also received a lot of doubts. At the same time, for the Clippers, one person has a big responsibility, and this person is Zubac. In fact, when the Clippers suffered injuries, many people expected Zubac to perform at the level of last season, but the reality is that Zubac struggled in the game. Just like today's game, Zubac played very inefficiently in the game. Although Zubac tried to rush inside to score, Zubac's current shooting rate is really unreasonable. You must know that Zubac did a good job in throwing shots last season, but this season Zubac is far from meeting expectations in this aspect, so when Zubac plays sluggishly, the Clippers' situation becomes even worse.

Of course, for the current Clippers, the frustration is not the loss, but Harden's two statistics. Harden's scoring performance this season is outstanding, averaging 26.5 points per game and shooting 44% from the field. This is his best scoring performance since the 2019-20 season (leaving the Rockets). In the 14 games that have been played, he averaged 26.5 points per game, the sixth highest score in his 17-year career. At the same time, Harden has scored 25+5+5 in the past four games. According to the data media Real Sports, Harden, who is 36 years and 87 days old, is the oldest guard to achieve this achievement. It can be said that Harden's ability to produce such data at this age is already quite good. If the Clippers' lineup is not so bad, then the Clippers' current record should not be so bad.

But the Clippers really don't have much to do in the face of this situation. After all, Bill has been reimbursed for the season. Collins had high hopes, but even when Collins came to the starting position, he didn't contribute much to the team, not to mention that Paul really can't help the team much now. Not to mention Paul's low offensive deterrence. Paul's defense has become even more of a drag, and Lopez has huge defensive flaws, so the Clippers' seemingly successful signings during the offseason have become useless now, not to mention that Leonard has suffered injuries and has no specific return time, so even if Harden has performed well, the Clippers have only achieved a record of 4 wins and 11 losses so far this season.
